For the first time in its 10-year history, "UKNY" is actually being broadcast from London tonight; something I've wanted to do for a very long time. While here, I've been seeing as many shows as I can — including the  first of two breathtaking, emotional, and thrilling Blur shows at Wembley Stadium last weekend, which included, on Saturday, stellar support sets from Self Esteem's Rebecca Lucy Taylor and her band (an extraordinary, commanding set), Sleaford Mods, and Jockstrap.

Songs from all of those artists and bands tonight on "UKNY" at 11 p.m. plus new releases from Yard Act, The Last Dinner Party, Priya Ragu, and the electrifying Northern Irish and Dutch duo Fräulein — who impressed mightily at London's The Shacklewell Arms earlier this month.

Listen at 90.7 FM, streaming online, and in the Archives after broadcast.
